Hi, all!

Sigh. 

I had a much more lengthy and spectacular post planned for my very first addition to my Inara LaVey author blog page here, but it got eaten by my computer.  Which brings me to my very first piece of writerly advice:

Never compose online. And if you DO choose to ignore this advice, make sure you save your drafts compulsively. 

I don't offer this advice lightly.  I have lost numerous articles, posts and emails by blithely writing away online, only to have my 'net connection vanish or my computer freeze or any number of mishaps (one of my cats once jumped on my laptop and managed to disconnect me from the 'net) which resulted in me having to rewrite whatever it was I was working on at the time.  Many a King Homer-like D'OH!!!!!! has rung out through the halls of work or home because of my inability to follow my own advice. 

Use me as an object lesson.  Don't let this happen to you. 

That being said...New Author Blog Page!  Sweet!! 

I'm very happy to be part of Ravenous Romance and looking forward to reading my fellow authors' works and hearing from readers who've read my  work!   Now excuse me while I go OFF line and rewrite my original blog post for tomorrow.
